Object Number:

Marks:

in relief: on sides: "E.G. BOOZ'S / OLD CABIN / WHISKEY." and "120 WALNUT ST / PHILADELPHIA"
Gallery Label:
This bottle, one of many examples of mold-blown glass in the Society's collection, was made for Edmund G. Booz by the Whitney Glass Works of Glassboro, New Jersey, around 1860. It is thought that the 1840 date refers to the age of the whiskey in the bottle. At his death, Booz had twenty-five cases of Cabin Whiskey in stock, valued at six dollars a case or fifty cents per bottle. The bottle pattern continued to be used after his death, and was reproduced into the twentieth century by the Clevenger Brothers Glass Works. Although the word "booze" was in use by the eighteenth century, a theory persists that these bottles helped popularize the term.
